L.U. 459 (catv,ees,em,govt,mt,so,u&ptc), JOHNSTOWN, PA — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey toured the Keystone Generating Station, a 1,700-megawatt coal-fired power plant, on Aug. 28 to see our members keeping the lights on throughout the largest interconnection in the country.
Through many discussions with Local 459 leadership, Sen. Casey has professed his vision of an “all of the above” energy policy for our country and was truly amazed with the technology that keeps these plants running. Thanks to the senator for taking time to meet the members and be receptive to their knowledge and concerns. Without fossil fuel plants, the country faces a dark future, economically and literally, with impending blackouts.
Aric Baker, Pres.
